As a free to play member you are not allowed to post on the forums to ask for help. I have had issues login into the game repeatedly in the few days I have been playing I have multiple tickets in do to not able to login with the app. As it stand they have requested I change my password to reclaim my account. I used their random password generator. The game failed to allow me access. They requested I give them my cell phone number which I did as so to use the SMS verification system it failed to verify my account and they requested I once again change my password. each time I do that I can get on to the website that sells expansion, so the password works it is the game app that is dysfunctional after their last update. It appears their having a lot of issues with this update as it has updated 3 times this last two days.
Free to play you are not given a mount you have to walk very, very slowly it says your running, but it is super slow if you die you have to run across the map to where you died at. If you were in an event, it could take you 10 minutes to fight your way back to the event you died at. you are extremely limited in bag space, and you have to watch it constantly to avoid not receiving drops and if your bags are full at crucial times the game well block the screen in combat with a pop up saying your encumbered you have to literally throw something out of your bags to get the pop up to go away.
The free to play marketing ploy worded to bring people to the game once more yet the population in dismal. The content after level 80 in mostly group events that cannot be soloed and sense there is little to no people playing you find yourself waiting a long time to having another person to help out to complete the events.
The chat box is dead as there are so very few in your area playing you are most times talking to yourself. Constantly I get prompted to switch instances to go to a more populated instance. This happens a lot in the game a pop up shows up with a counter if you do not again to jump now you well be automatically switched in 60 minutes.
Is the game worth spending money on? It is a super complicated game as is most MMO's it is a super time suck or pay to avoid time suck. Free to play just means their do not value your time. Items could cost up to thousands of dollars if you were to just pay from your real job 3 hours at 15 dollars an hour could buy the item that would take hundreds of hours to get free through grinding the game. The bonus difference between this game and World of WarCraft is there is no subscription you download the free to play or you buy the game expanse, and you get to play without ponying up 15 dollars a month subscription fee's.
You can buy the full series for around $49.00 for the basic package you'll get a mount you can grind the game to get a flying mount. Once you pay for the game you are allowed to use the forum. In the end for a little more than 3 hours at $15.00 an hour you can save yourself a lot of grief walking everywhere, and you'll have a way better experience with the game and a lot more content unlocked. There is a lot in game purchasing not so much pay to win but it is a nickel and dime you to death to make the game more enjoyable through just paying real money rather than grinding away your life on content you do not want to do.
That's if you can login and don't mind them request you to change your password a couple times a week giving them you cell phone number being forced to verify yourself every time you try to login. It really should not be this hard to play the game where you have to have second (cell phone provider) and third (email accounts) parties to verify you are who you say you are only to be told to change your password in ensure security. Which brings you to think how secure their servers are if they keep requesting you to verify yourself and change your password each time you login.
anyhow I wasted 4 hours trying to get on I might have to make another ticket. $60.00 dollars of my time pissed away with not results I still cannot get on.
